We've had our 22SSRX for 4 years and just experienced a hiccup with the engine tilt.
The only tilt "support" I've ever dealt with was on the starboard side of the engine. It firmly stops in one of two positions; one position holds the engine when fully up, the allows the engine to move up and down.
Yesterday, I tilted the engine all the way up, like I have many times before, and it wouldn't tilt down. After checking the known starboard side tilt support and then lots of head scratching, I noticed a bracket on the port side (see pic). I have never paid any attention to the bracket and couldn't find it in the Yamaha manual. It swings/hangs freely and fits into a small indent when the engine reaches a certain "up" angle. Once it fits down into the indent, the angle is such that you can no longer tilt the engine down. I had to physically hold the support out of the way to tilt the engine down.
Can anyone shed light on why this is now happening?
